Recently Brazil waived visa requirements for visiting citizens from the US, Australia, Canada and Japan, making it easier for tourists to spend the holidays and 2020 in São Paulo.
The Renaissance São Paulo Hotel offers an array of festivities during the holidays. Designed by famous architect Oscar Niemeyer and landscape designer Burle Marx, the iconic hotel is centrally located near the heart of the vibrant Ibirapuera Park, similar in size and beauty to New York’s Central Park.
